Does anyone else find that their doubles just keep on flowering? I don't know if it is due to overcrowding that we get these smaller, later blooms, but as much as I like to look at snowdrops, I can't help feeling that they are beginning to look a little out of place...

I think this is fairly normal.  Double nivalis flowers don't have any female parts (style/stigma) so cannot get pollinated but they don't 'know' this so they hang around a long time waiting for something to happen!

Thank you Anthony, Olga and Wolfgang.  Just when I was convinced there would be no more snowdrops this season you Cheer me up with more photos of some lovely looking plants.   :)

That superb green Sharlockii reminded me of another incredibly green snowdrop I have only ever seen in pictures, 'Green Mile' http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=3146.0 (bottom of page).  Actually they are not at all the same because Green Mile has a white spot at the tip of the outers.  Maybe green snowdrops will be the next big thing?

Great to see these last few postings on snowdrops. Many thanks to all who posted.

Indeed, the green snowdrops seem to becoming more and more popular. It strikes me that, while we are very struck by green snowdrops here in western Europe, more and more of them are being found in natural populations of snowdrops in eastern Europe. Perhaps, what was to us rare and unusual is, in fact, relatively commonplace elsewhere and that they are not at all as rare as we had thought.
